Uninstall a Microsoft Store Game

Quick answer: Use the Store apps view or Windows Installed apps, preserving save data when the game does not sync it.

When this applies

Microsoft Store apps use package management rather than a traditional vendor uninstall wizard.

Before changing software registrations, make sure you have identified the exact application, edition and account. A change that is appropriate on a personal Windows PC may not be permitted on a managed company computer.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open the game settings and verify cloud-save status if available.
  2. Locate the Store game in Windows Settings or Geek Uninstaller’s Store apps list.
  3. Uninstall the correct title rather than a shared Gaming Services package.
  4. Refresh and inspect remaining storage through Windows Storage settings.

How to check the outcome

Expected result: Verify your saves are available through the game account or backup.

Cross-check the result in Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps when the target has an installation entry. If Windows asks for a restart, complete it before deciding the operation failed.

Limits and safety notes

Important: Do not remove Gaming Services or other shared components to delete a single game.

Do not treat a proposed leftover as harmless just because its name resembles the removed application. Preserve files needed by other programs, and record changes when troubleshooting.
